CandycornDB

Real-time IP risk scoring API to fight fraud and bots

CandycornDB launched on May 22, 2025 with 6 votes. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.

What it does

CandycornDB delivers real-time IP risk scoring via API. It detects VPNs, Tor traffic, abusive ASNs, and suspicious subnets—so fraud teams can block threats without blocking good users.

Identify VPNs, proxies, and malicious subnets in real-time. The only IP lookup tool with P1-P3 Identity Intelligence and 1.5M+ verified ISP brands.

Don't wait for chargebacks. Identify VPNs, Tor nodes, and risky subnets in real-time (< 50ms) before they touch your application. Legacy databases only tell you where an IP is. CandyCornDB tells you what it is doing. We score neighborhoods, not just IPs. If a subnet shows mass-abuse, we flag the whole block instantly. Stop users from bypassing bans. Our crawlers update Tor exit node lists every 30 minutes. Powered by Redis and Edge Caching. We process thousands of IPs daily with near-zero latency. Every IP you look up runs through our three-pillar Identity Intelligence engine in under 50ms. We look at the IP's /24 and /22 neighbours. If the block shows coordinated botnet or scraper…from candycorndb.com

    IPDetective collects data from about 60+ different sources such as official cloud provider endpoints and public VPN&#x2F;Proxy&#x2F;Tor&#x2F;Bot net lists. Then aggregates this data into a fast and easy to use API that can be integrated into applications or scripts easily. IPDetective started as a hobby project for my other hobby projects :) and I decided to wrap a simple website around and offer it as a service.

  • Talanoa▲346

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • Tapflow 2.0▲1,125

    We built Tapflow for devs, designers, PMs, and tech folks who’ve been sitting on internal docs, templates, and systems — but never productized them. Upload a PDF, notes, or workshop deck, and Tapflow drafts a structured product (with chapters, teaser and pricing plans). It’s good for AI kits, onboarding guides, design systems, and frameworks. You can sell through Stripe, LemonSqueezy, or PayPal. Real-time collaboration is in early beta. No site builder, no LMS — clean design and just focused tools to ship. Fully bootstrapped and just launched on PH today →…
